Female 2'' BSP - male 1''1/4 BSP fitting

Female 2'' BSP - male 1''1/4 BSP CPP fitting (Reference: 100194) is a professional adapter specifically designed for 1000-liter plastic tanks. This reduction fitting allows efficient connection of equipment with different threads, offering a versatile solution for your industrial and domestic installations. Manufactured by CPP according to European quality standards, it guarantees perfect sealing and long service life.

Applications and benefits of BSP fitting

This BSP adapter fitting meets the specific needs of plumbing, agriculture and industry professionals who work with 1000-liter IBC tanks. It allows reduction of outlet diameter from a 2-inch BSP valve to a male 1-inch 1/4 BSP thread, thus facilitating connection with smaller equipment.

Farmers use it to connect their irrigation systems, industrials for their fluid circuits, and individuals for their rainwater harvesting installations. This versatility makes it an essential element for any installation requiring BSP thread adaptation.

The main advantage lies in its ability to prevent leaks while maintaining optimal flow. Unlike makeshift solutions, this professional fitting ensures a reliable and durable connection, resistant to pressure variations and mechanical stress.

Technical specifications and materials

The glass fiber reinforced polypropylene used for this fitting provides exceptional mechanical properties. This composition ensures high chemical resistance to acids, bases and solvents commonly transported in industrial tanks. The material also resists UV, guaranteeing prolonged outdoor use without degradation.

The maximum working pressure of 8 bar allows its use in most industrial and domestic applications. This technical performance, combined with a weight of only 120 grams, facilitates handling and reduces stress on supports.

The BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread complies with international standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with all standard market equipment. Machining precision guarantees smooth threading and optimal sealing without requiring excessive force.

The dimensions have been designed to minimize pressure losses while maintaining sufficient mechanical robustness. The flared shape of the connections facilitates flow and reduces turbulence.

Installation and practical use

The installation of this adapter fitting requires no specialized tools. Simple hand tightening followed by a quarter turn with a wrench is sufficient to achieve perfect sealing. It is recommended to apply Teflon tape or sealing paste on the threads to optimize sealing.

Before installation, verify that your valve has a female 2-inch BSP outlet. The fitting screws directly onto this outlet, then offering a male 1-inch 1/4 BSP outlet ready to receive your equipment.

For maintenance, simple rinsing with clear water is sufficient in most cases. In case of limestone deposits, use a mild descaler compatible with polypropylene. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the surface and compromise sealing.

Disassembly is performed in reverse order, without risk of deterioration if operations are carried out carefully. Polypropylene retains its properties even after multiple assembly/disassembly cycles.

Expert advice and complementary products

To optimize your installation, consider adding a clamp or fixing bracket if the fitting undergoes significant mechanical stress. This precaution extends the lifespan of the assembly and prevents accidental loosening.

In high-flow applications, remember to regularly check the fitting tightness, particularly after the first months of use. Thermal variations can cause slight movements that require readjustment.

This fitting pairs perfectly with our BSP valves, connection elbows and repair sleeves to create complete and reliable installations. For food applications, verify material compatibility with your specific fluids.

Professional tip: when storing spare parts, keep this type of fitting in a dry place away from direct light to preserve its mechanical properties over the long term. Marking the purchase date facilitates traceability and inventory management.
